TRUE PARTNERSHIP AND GLOBAL APPROACH IN MANAGEMENT OF RENAL CARE

For us, within our Association, it is about ‘Achieving the best standard of education, standards and research for all renal care professionals caring and supporting their patients and families around the world. To be able to live by this Mission and the Purpose and Reason for being a true renal professional, we are many people involved. Many tasks to split and shared among us, to become stronger and achieve our goals.

We always strive for Excellence in everything we do. Our Knowledge and Experience ensure that the outcome of our Educational Programs and Projects in Collaboration with our Partners shows the evidence of this. Our Commitment towards each other encourages us to do even more. Through our Global presence we have an Opportunity to share knowledge and experience not only at Conferences and Seminars but also through our Publications and Online Programme including Applications.

All this creates fantastic opportunities for everyone involved. Our strength is to focus on the unique competencies and experience of each and every individual to create a Caring Culture that brings out the best in us all.

Together with our Partners we have a very fruitful cooperation and we see the fantastic result it generates. You will find some of the latest achievements and ongoing projects:

One of the Educational objectives during 2017 of the EDTNA/ERCA is focused on Malnutrition.

Dietary intervention is of high importance for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, both for disease outcome and for prevention and treatment of malnutrition (over- and under-nutrition), which is quite common in renal patients.

The aim of this Project is to reach all renal healthcare professionals caring for Chronic Kidney Disease patients. Offering them the chance to learn from experts about Malnutrition and to increase the awareness of Dietary intervention which is of high importance for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Objectives of the project

Investigate common practices of nutritional screening and support.

The intent is to provide insight and education about Malnutrition and to increase the awareness of Dietary intervention which is of high importance for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Identify educational gaps and need for further provision of knowledge in nutrition for renal nurses.

To be able to early identify and treat malnutrition, a nutritional screening is necessary, followed by a detailed nutritional assessment in order to provide optimal care to individuals with CKD.
